Ashton Kutcher’s longtime friendship with Sean ‘Diddy’ Combs has come under scrutiny amid the music mogul’s ongoing legal woes.
The actor appeared in a Hot Ones segment in 2019, during which he was asked to shed light on Diddy’s infamous parties.
‘I’ve got a lot I can’t tell,’ Kutcher laughed, with a knowing smirk spread across his face.
Kutcher spent a split second considering his words, before adding: ‘Can’t tell that one either… I’m cycling through them.’
Combs, 54, was placed on suicide watch, which is ‘standard for high-profile individuals,’ as he remains jailed at Brooklyn’s Metropolitan Detention Center sources told DailyMail.com.

He was arrested and indicted earlier this week in Manhattan for sex trafficking, racketeering and transportation to engage in prostitution.
Combs allegedly held ‘Freak Off’ sessions in which he coerced women to have sex with male prostitutes while he masturbated.
Authorities allege he often recorded the sessions, luring women in by pretending to start a romantic relationship with them.
They allegedly lasted for days on end, and police claim Combs provided drugs to ‘keep the victims obedient.’
Diddy was known to throw elaborate parties often attended by his elite Hollywood friends.
It is unclear which parties in particular Kutcher attended, but he described them as ‘weird’ in the Hot Ones segment.
‘Diddy party stories… weird man,’ he said.

The footage resurfaced this week, prompting a wave of scrutiny and criticism demanding Kutcher speak up.
‘He’s probably not laughing now,’ one user on social media wrote in response to the clip.
‘Please tell, Ashton,’ another replied.
Others questioned whether Kutcher – or other celebrities who have publicly said they’ve attended Diddy’s parties – would be subpoenaed or asked to take the stand in a future trial.

‘We just became fast friends, and we used to just hang out and watch football together,’ Kutcher said.
‘He just can’t lose.’
In September 2023, Kutcher resigned from the anti-child sex abuse organization that he founded in 2009 following backlash for writing a letter to the court in support of his former colleague and friend Danny Masterson, who was being sentenced for rape. Pictured: Kutcher with his wife, Mila Kunis

In September 2023, Kutcher resigned from the anti-child sex abuse organization that he founded in 2009 following backlash for writing a letter to the court in support of his former colleague and friend Danny Masterson, who was being sentenced for rape.
He described the decision to write the letter as ‘an error in judgement.’
Combs is on a ‘no bail’ hold and has pleaded not guilty to the charges against him.
His attorney, Marc Agnifilo, said he plans to file another motion in the future seeking his release, but also vowed to expedite his client’s criminal trial.
‘Mr Combs is a fighter – he will fight this until the end. He is innocent,’ Agnifilo said. ‘He has been looking forward to clearing his name and he is going to clear his name. We believe in him whole heartedly. He didn’t do these things.’
Combs is being kept in the Brooklyn jail’s Special Housing Unit while he waits to go to trial.
The jail has been described as ‘hell on earth’ and has been plagued with murders and suicides ever since it opened in 1994.
